-===== Windows games =====
-==== Which games ====
-Wine allows you to play Windows games. Old and even recent games.
-and 64 bits. Opensource games will be available in the batocera store (from the emulationstation menu)
-==== Directories ====
-  * /userdata/roms/windows32 : installed 32 bits windows game.
-  * /userdata/roms/windows32_installers : .iso, and setup.exe used to install games into /userdata/roms/windows32
-  * /userdata/roms/windows64 : installed 64 bits windows game.
-  * /userdata/roms/windows64_installers : .iso, and setup.exe used to install games into /userdata/roms/windows32
-==== How to add games ? ====
-=== Zipped games ===
-If you have a zip containg directly a game, like the xmoto zip containing the xmoto.exe (and some other files),
-just unzip the zip file into /userdata/roms/windows32, and refresh games list as for any game.
-When you start a such game, a windows minimalist arborescence is created into /userdata/saves/windows32/<game_name> to save data.
- * https://github.com/xmoto/xmoto/releases/download/0.6.1/xmoto-0.6.1-win32.zip
-=== Cdrom (.iso) games ===
-If you have a cdrom containing a game and that you want to install the game, put your cdrom (a .iso file) into /userdata/roms/windows32_installers.
-Refresh the game list in emulationstation. Start the installer. It will open the cdrom as on windows. Install the game.
-When you start a such installer, a windows minimalist arborescence is created into /userdata/roms/windows32/<game_name>.wine to contain the installed game.
-Then, you can refresh the game list in emulationstation, and start the game.
-Note that in the <game_name>.wine directory, you can find a file autorun.cmd to customize what to run.
-Example :
-  DIR=drive_c/Program Files/xmoto 0.6.1
-  CMD=xmoto.exe --fullscreen
-=== Setup.exe/.msi games ===
-This works as cdrom does.
-=== wine, wtgz, wine.squashfs games ===
-Once you have installed a game, you have a .wine directory into the /userdata/roms/windows32 directory.
-When you run a such game, in fact, each time, you modify the game itself.
-It is interesting at the beginning to customize the image, but once the image is done,
-it is better to convert it into one of the 2 formats : wtgz or wine.squashfs.
-This conversion is doable via command line :
-  batocera-wine wine2winetgz 32 xmoto.wine
-  batocera-wine wine2squashfs 32 xmoto.wine
-This conversion will create a file in /userdata/roms/windows32 which is no more modified.
-Instead, when you start this new game, it will create a directory in /userdata/saves/windows32.
-The difference between the 2 :
-  * wtgz is a .wine directory zipped. This file is unzipped into the saves directory and instead of modifying the original game, you have a copy of it.
-  * wine.squashfs is a squashfs file. When you start a such game, an overlay is created on top of it into the saves directory. The overlay contains only the delta, so it takes less place.
-==== Advanced ====
-Some games requires some tricks. For example, Age of King requires directplay if you want to play on network (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=147).
-It can be installed automatically thanks to the winetricks command.
